Ok so here is my take on this engine. I'm no engine guru, but I feel this is a good engine, and it has settled down. Starts now are much easier, similar to my EME and other DLE's. Vibration is manageable. I have a good 30+ flights on this engine and the ISO mount is only showing very light wear. I can see changing the bushings once a season depending on how much you fly. Power is strong for a single cylinder engine, almost as good as my EME120. It is a noisy beast though. Fuel consumption in light 3d is 14-16oz on a 8-10 min flight and aggressive flight is 16-18oz, I'm always left with a good half tank on a 32oz tank.

Prop is a 26x10 Xoar, 40lb thrust at 6400rpm.

I tried the recommended 4 blade bela prop 22x10x4 and it was a dud, very poor performance and I think the sizing is off, maybe a 24x10x4 would do better but not even close to the 2 blade.
